The Magic of Chris Van Allsburg
April 19 - August 3, 2008
Selections of Caldecott Medal winning author and illustrator Chris Van Allsburg’s original artwork are exhibited in the Museum’s Activity Gallery. Famous for creating pictures with strange elements such as flying beds and games that come to life, Van Allsburg inspires young writers and illustrators to write their own endings and draw their dreams. Original art from The Polar Express, The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, Two Bad Ants, The Sweetest Fig and other Van Allsburg classics are displayed. Books and activities complete the fun for all ages.
